About the Play
A celebration of joy, romance, and community, NOTHING, NOTHING is a site-specific adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing set and performed entirely in a Baptist church! This adaptation puts the bonds of love, family, and faith to the test in a hilarious comedy of errors.
Like Amina Henry's previous commission for Hero Theatre, TROY (2019), this commission is part of a special partnership with the Downtown Women's Center and the Alexandria House. Performances will be at the Friendship Baptist Church, a historic Black church in Pasadena where Martin Luther King Jr. once spoke.
